To further challenge the teams in the Open Category, and to break the track record after so many years, the team that shines the current record of 16.59 hours can look forward to € 600. The cash prize has been made proportionally available by the ERM and Roeiwerf Wiersma.

This is a doubling of the amount that was made available for the first time in 2017. Appointment is that the cash prize can rise to a maximum of 1000 euri. As mentioned, the ERM wants to strengthen the competition field in the coming years. In line with this, this year, for the first time, a time limit has been set for participation in the Open Category, which will gradually be sharpened.

Time limit Open Category

Teams who register for the ‘Open Category’ must finish within 3 hours after the first team in this field. If not: unfortunately no Elfstedenkruisje.

We adjust the contestrules stp by step, with the aim of gettig thet fast teams to start and finish closer together. In recent years we have already made a distinction in a competitionfield and a performancefield.

Time limit
This year we are going to make another change in the ‘Open Category’. Teams who register for this category must now finish within three hours of the first team in this field. Finish you later, then you end up out of time and the rowers of your team don’t get an Efstedenkruisje!

After publication, the finish time of nine teams appeared to be incorrect. Two captains attended to this. Due to power outage, the electronic time observation did not work and we returned to the manually clocked finish time. This time was not yet corrected for the start time of relevant teams. That has now been done and processed in the results. It involved the teams with start number: 12, 27, 51, 52, 55, 94, 95, 101 and 102. The time correction is 3:03; 7:05; 14:40; 15:11; 25:42; 25:52; 27:27 and 27:44 minutes.

Wat was your reaction?

Below, we address only those issues where there is improvement to catch up. This is made up of ‘Location, organization and recognition “and” Safety & match’. On the Eleven rowing marathon in 2017!

Location, organization and recognition
To begin, we will renew our website; we make our website more contemporary and informative, so that rowers can quickly find what they want to know. A first version, we can now see and it is beautiful …

Regarding the location indicated, that we must do something about the signs, both for the car and boat traffic as the rowers on our premises.

For strangers is not enough clear where they must report to the secretariat. Therefore, we will next year increase the visibility of organizers and volunteers of the ERM, so visibly who can answer any questions.

Security & Contest
Allowing smooth and fast running of the boat inspection every year again discussed. We have already taken several steps, including identifiable jackets for the judges of boats.

We’re going to do this differently. The past two years we divided the boats judges on the basis of the start numbers. This meant that both the judges and the rowers to each other were looking for boat inspection. Coming ERM we enter the area where the boats are defining in equal parts and we assign the parts to the jurors. We hope to make a correct work!

Given the weather conditions, there were few problems during the ERM in 2016. Returning sticking point is the passage of the bridges at Dokkum. Next year we want to pay special attention to this.
